The structure of a long bone
Have you ever been wondering what are the different type of bones ? and yet they are five types of bones classified as flat, long, short,irregular and sesamoid. Although, different types of bones have differing shapes connected to their particular function. My main focus throughout this discourse is on the structure of a long bone . For one thing, bones give the human body structure and support. Despite first impressions bones are living tissues that are constantly being remodeled.
First and foremost, the long bones function to support weight in the body and enable movement. They are located in the appendicular skeleton and cover bones of the lower limbs such as the tibia, fibula, femur (longest bone in the body) and bones of the upper limbs suchlike the humerus radius ,ulna metacarpals and phalanges. In addition , a long bone has two parts known as the diaphysis and the epiphysis . As an illustration, the diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs in the middle of the proximal and distal ends of the bone , and is made up primarily of compact bone which is a dense, strong bone composed of minerals , together with calcium, phosphorus . Furthermore , it also has a small hole that transport nutrients to the compact bone cell. Between the ephiphysis cap and the long shaft of the diaphysis is a wide section called the metaphysis which are also important for bone growth during childhood and adolescence. The hollow region is named as the medullary cavity. It has a thin membranous known as endosteum (inside) , where bone widening and remodeling occur and a outer surface covered with a fibrous membrane known as periosteum (around). Above all, the periosteum contains blood vessels, lymphatic and nerves that nourish compact bone. As a result, they are filled with red bone marrow in children and transititions to yellow bone marrow as they become adults.
In the second place , the epyphises closer to the body is called the proximal epiphysis while the distal is at the farther end. The epiphysis is connected to the bone shaft by the epiphyseal plate which is a growth disk of cartillage and Its main function is to distribute pressure accross the joints to assist in easi.

The structure of a long bone
2. Have you ever been wondering what are the different type
of bones ? and yet they are five types of bones classified as
flat, long, short,irregular and sesamoid. Although, different
types of bones have differing shapes connected to their
particular function. My main focus throughout this
discourse is on the structure of a long bone . For one thing,
bones give the human body structure and support. Despite
first impressions bones are living tissues that are constantly
being remodeled.
First and foremost, the long bones function to
support weight in the body and enable movement. They are
located in the appendicular skeleton and cover bones of the
lower limbs such as the tibia, fibula, femur (longest bone in the
body) and bones of the upper limbs suchlike the humerus radius
,ulna metacarpals and phalanges. In addition , a long bone has
two parts known as the diaphysis and the epiphysis . As an
illustration, the diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs in the
middle of the proximal and distal ends of the bone , and is
made up primarily of compact bone which is a dense, strong
bone composed of minerals , together with calcium, phosphorus
. Furthermore , it also has a small hole that transport nutrients
to the compact bone cell. Between the ephiphysis cap and the
long shaft of the diaphysis is a wide section called the
metaphysis which are also important for bone growth during
childhood and adolescence. The hollow region is named as the
medullary cavity. It has a thin membranous known as
endosteum (inside) , where bone widening and
remodeling occur and a outer surface covered with a fibrous
membrane known as periosteum (around). Above all, the
periosteum contains blood vessels, lymphatic and
nerves that nourish compact bone. As a result, they are filled
with red bone marrow in children and transititions to yellow
bone marrow as they become adults.
3. In the second place , the epyphises closer to the body is
called the proximal epiphysis while the distal is at the
farther end. The epiphysis is connected to the bone shaft by the
epiphyseal plate which is a growth disk of cartillage and Its
main function is to distribute pressure accross the joints to
assist in easier mobility. Moreover, epiphysis are filled with
spongy bone carrying red bone marrow , that is red in color
due to the fact that it makes red blood cell. Under the
circumtances, each epiphysis is cover on with articular
cartilage that connects the bone to the rest of the body while
cushioning the end of the bone. (Saladin et al., 2018).
In summary, long bones are longer than they are wide .They
are strong bones because they must be able to withstand the
force when the body moves and changes
directions. Based on several studies, the structure of a
long bone allows the best visualization of all the parts of a
bone. Therefore, 3D vizualization of bone structure is a
significant aspect of medical image analysis and research.
